I bought a kit from my LHBS for a "German Dark" beer along with 2 extra pounds of wheat.
The kit has:
3.3 # amber extract
3# DME
.75# Carmel-40
.25#Choc Malt
.25# Black Patent
and Hollertau Hops (3 oz)
All that business plus my 2 extra pounds of wheat should do the trick, but I want something fancy, especially if I am going to call this beer my own ( I mean, Hammersmith Dunkel doesnt have NEARLY the ring to it as Von Runkel's Drunkel).
I have been looking through a whole butt ton of posts trying to figure out what my extra Fancy should be, but I can't quite put my finger on what I want.
I have been entertaining the idea of Blood oranges, but I did an orange Hefe as my last brew (A Gentleman's Mohawk), and I was looking to avoid a repeat in Fancy, If that makes sense. I also saw a pomegranite Hefe that sparked some curiosity...
So please, any suggestions based on flights of fancy or experience are welcome.
Thanks
Dave
